Great tutorial! Very nice!
However, I got stuck in "Adding custom recovery" part. I have the recovery.img and I had no problems in the earlier steps. As many other people I do not get pass the
"< waiting for device >" part.
I have made sure I am in FASTBOOT MODE and I clearly see the text "FASTBOOT USB" on my phone. After that I type, in the terminal on my computer, in the right directory: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and I get "< waiting for device >" - no more.
However, when I type "sudo fastboot devices" it finds my device - I get the serial number! I try again - but with the same result.
Some people had problems with the drivers, but that cannot be the problem because it finds my device - right? So, what can be the problem? I am out of ideas
I anyone has a clue and wants to help I would be very thankful!
By the way, I am running Linux Mint 14. Thanks in advance!
I know this is not recommended but, theoretically, if I skip this step, will I be unable to make recovers with the 4Ext app later or even continue the rooting process?
